Now, wouldn’t you like all your family to wake up feeling refreshed?

The Mattress & Your Health

Organic cotton mattresses and futons breathe which helps eliminate moisture retention and allows the mattress to remain dry or to dry quickly thus avoiding mould or mildew.

This ‘breathing’, together with the soft Suede Flannel fabric also reduces dust mite problems (these annoying and allergy causing little creatures prefer warm, moist conditions).

The mattress retains its clean natural state, allowing skin to breathe which encourages a deeper and more restful nights sleep.

The Innerspring Mattress

Inside the adult size mattress is a ‘Bonnell’ hourglass spring which has been covered with Organature exclusive ‘Org-Suede Flannel’ certified organic cotton fabric which has ‘Control Union’ certification.

The fabric is then generously covered with many layers of soft Certified Organic Cotton wadding and encased in the ‘Org-Suede Flannel’, creating a medium firm yet comfortable mattress for a healthy and relaxing nights sleep.

Mattresses, mattress protectors, futons and futon covers come in a range of sizes to suit every member of the family.

From the large king and queen sized beds to the smallest bassinet and cot size, and everything in between. Special sizes may also be ordered by request.

(See below for a full list of sizes and measurements).

Give your family a healthy nights sleep!

Mattress and Futon Filling

Layers of carded cotton wadding are placed all over and on each side of the innerspring mattress. Many of these layers are used in the futon too which creates firm and healthy support for your back.

The Mattress OR Futon Base

To allow for proper breathing the mattress should always be placed on a slat base.

All Organature futon and mattress bases are supplied in a convenient flat pack which is very easy to assemble. It takes less than 5 minutes to set up completely – no nails no screws, no glue.

The wooden bed base is not varnished or painted to help those with sensitivities and allergies, but should you wish to apply an organic varnish, contact Livos.com.au

The slats should NOT be varnished or painted.

For increased effectiveness of the health benefits gained when using these certified organic products on a daily basis, we strongly recommend that you buy our natural timber slat bed base in conjunction with your organic cotton mattress or futon, which has been custom made from Australian plantation hardwood.

NO glues are used, and No fumigation processes have taken place.

WARNING – Please DO NOT USE imported timber and timber products (which are most likely fumigated) with your pure organic cotton mattress or futon. We also DO NOT recommend the use of pine due to the high content of terpenes (turpentine). DO NOT use chipboard, MDF or plywood either, or you are decreasing the chances of experiencing the real HEALTH BENEFITS associated with purchasing a pure organic cotton mattress or futon in the first place.

Why should YOU choose Organic Cotton Bedding?

It’s Only Natural. Cotton is a natural fibre that resonates harmoniously with our bodies. The same cannot be said for latex, foam and other synthetic fabrics, and even animal products such as wool. When we surround ourselves with organic cotton, we function – and sleep – at our optimum.

A Much Healthier Product – Conventional cotton has been saturated with chemicals in the growing, picking and in the various processing stages. These chemicals are poisonous to the human system and many of them are activated to outgas by bodily heat.

Mattresses made with Certified Organic Material DON’T Contain Harmful Chemicals – Conventional mattresses are made from synthetic materials which may be protected against fire by a range of substances such as formaldehyde – a known carcinogen, they are treated with other chemicals such as ‘Ultra fresh’, ‘Mould inhibitor’, ‘Anti dustmite’, ‘moisture repellents’ and lavender, which for bedding is most likely synthetically produced.

Organic cotton mattresses and futons DO NOT contain fire retardants or other harmful chemicals.

Organic Cotton Has A Subtle Natural Smell – Conventional mattresses made with latex, synthetic foam, non-organic wool and polyester give off an odour, this is the odour of synthetic materials and chemicals – just like you will find in new cars, carpet and tyres.

This may also be the case with, what is frequently referred to as ‘Natural Bedding’, as most of the filling used for these is part of a plant and most likely imported; the Australian Quarantine Inspection Service require fumigation for these imported plant products.

Most people do not even notice the smell because their senses have been damaged by the many synthetics which we breathe in every day. These odours subside over a period of time (in some instances it can take years), but it never completely goes away.

These chemicals found in synthetic materials, when heated by our body, cause the chemicals to outgas which we then inhale. Yuk!

Organic cotton has a gentle natural odour which is harmless and subsides quickly.

Ideal For Allergy, Chemical Sensitivity and Asthma Sufferers – Hypoallergenic. Organic cotton is neutral and is a much healthier alternative for those with Allergies, Chemical Sensitivity and Asthmatic tendencies.

They Breathe – Organic cotton mattresses have excellent wicking qualities, absorbing moisture at night and dissipating it by day, which in the case of the innerspring, is aided by the air circulation through the springs.

We strongly recommend you buy a natural timber slat base to use with your Organature Mattress or futon to further enhance the organic cottons’ natural qualities.

The Only Organic Cotton Mattress Made in Australia

Organature is the ONLY manufacturer producing genuine organic cotton innerspring mattresses and futons in Australia.

Everything we make and use has been thoughtfully chosen with Chemical Sensitivity, Asthma and Allergy Sufferers in mind, right down to the packaging.

Why Do We Make Organic Products?

One of our founders, Peter, was diagnosed with Multiple Chemical Sensitivity (M.C.S.) in 1993. He was forced to give up work as a result. There is no total cure for this strange ailment which can strike anyone at any time. Read more about Multiple Chemical Sensitivity Syndrome HERE.

When we were researching M.C.S. we discovered that many people are already allergic to perfume and deodorant (due to the chemicals they contain), and can feel tired, experience difficulty breathing, have asthma attacks and get rashes or other allergic reactions, some without even realising the cause!

Treatment for Chemical Sensitivity – At this time, the only recognised remedy and precaution for Chemical Sensitivity is the ‘Avoidance of Chemicals’.

As a chemical sensitivity or asthma sufferer, it is vital to get your rest without the effects of chemicals. Avoiding the traditional bedding products including sheets, pillows and bed linen (which are often treated with potentially allergy causing chemicals), is really important in helping you FEEL BETTER.

Why Is Regular Bedding And Bed Linen Bad For Us? – Conventional cotton sheets often contain chemicals such as formaldehyde to make them ‘Non-iron’, ‘Easy care’, ‘Wrinkle free’, ‘ Permanently pressed’, ‘Flame proof’ and many other fancy names.

Feeling Better By Using Organic Products – To minimise exposure to the harmful chemicals that were making Peter so sick that he couldn’t work and could barely even get out of bed, we use ONLY Organic products in our home (with special emphasis on what we sleep on and under), and have witnessed massive improvements in Peters’ health, due to these changes.

Organature was created because there was no Cotton Bedding Manufacturer using clean and safe Organic practices in Australia. Research showed there were also many other Australians with symptoms caused by reactions to chemicals and we decided to make, import where necessary and supply the range of Organic Cotton goods that people were so desperately needing to regain their health.

Only Safe Organic Products and Packaging Are Used

All Organature bedlinen and other bedding products are made in Australia in our own sewing rooms under strict clean conditions. Our requirements to supply HEALTHY PRODUCTS to the public which are NOT contaminated by outgassing from other products, are *stricter than organic certification requirements.

*Our manufacturing area and sewing room walls are painted with natural organic paint, the cutting table is Australian hardwood, (we DO NOT use chipboard or MDF), we are a family business and none of its’ members use synthetic fragrances from perfumes, deodorants, aftershave, hand creams, personal care products etc.

We follow the European Organic certification standard which is more stringent and health promoting. We don’t use the American standard because it allows certain chemicals to be used in fabrics, like fabric whiteners, which are not allowed in Europe.

We control all aspects of the fabric production, the products we manufacture ourselves and those we have made especially for us….without contamination from outside sources.

Our mattresses, quilts and pillows are the only ones available in Australia which are filled with Australian Grown Organic Cotton and comply with very strict organic specifications.

About Our Packaging Materials

An Organature mattress or futon is first packed in a handy draw string bag made specially from our organic cotton fabric and then meticulously wrapped in multi layers plastic for transport.

Mattress and futon of all sizes (including Cot mattresses and futons for babies) are first packed in an Organic Cotton bag, then placed into a carton for sending by post.

This gives extra protection between the mattresses and the outer wrapping…because we care that you receive your new mattress, bedding, futon, sheets, pillows, towels, clothes or any other organic products we sell, in the best possible condition.

Organature offer the BEST ORGANIC QUALITY and at a very REASONABLE PRICE.

We hope our products will improve the quality of your life.

What if I spill something on my Organic Mattress?

We always recommend that you use an Organature ‘Org-Suede Flannel’, machine washable, mattress protector. They are really easy to fit and are designed exactly the same as a fitted sheet.

Our products are NOT plasticised or treated with moisture repellents, so you will need to take greater care with your certified organic mattress but the health benefits are well worth it.

Liquid spills should be ‘mopped up’ by sprinkling with bi-carbonate of soda, allow it to absorb the moisture, gently scrape with flat of knife and repeat if required.

Finish with a damp cloth and then blow dry (hair dryer, not too hot or too close) or just air in the sun.

If soiled, spot clean with bi-carbonate of soda and water, vinegar or lemon juice will aid to neutralise.

Vacuum and air the mattress and protector regularly to avoid and minimize dustmite problems. Those annoying little mites are a common cause of allergies.

Will my mattress or futon lose its’ shape?

The organic cotton we use for the wadding is very high quality. It is therefore “fluffier” than usual.

The cotton will compress and this ‘puffed’ appearance will diminish as the mattress is used.

It should be slept on for a week and then turned over to settle, regular turning and flipping over is recommended.

Is it firm to sleep on?

Cotton mattresses are typically firmer than synthetic ones. This is because unlike synthetic materials, cotton does not have “memory” and does not return as readily to its original shape.

Organic Cotton is much better for your back and most people find them more comfortable too.

Is there a guarantee?

Absolutely. The mattress manufacturer provides a normal five (5) year warrantee on springs and workmanship.

Of course you must adhere to the advice and recommendations of care, but we stand by the quality of the fabrics and filling used.

Where can I get nice Organic bed linen and sheets?

Organature also make a delightful range of organic bed linen as well as bedding, all made from Certified Organic Cotton.

There’s even a lovely range of fashionable colours to choose from in some of our products. Of course, all our organic bed linen, manchester, quilt, comforter, blanket, cotton sheets, flannel sheets, bedding, rugs, pillows, mattress protectors and pillow protectors are also produced as ‘natural’ cotton without any colour added.

Should I Buy A Mattress Or A Futon?

The Innerspring Mattress gives medium firm support and the Futon Bed provides a firmer support. Both are healthy for your back. Please CONTACT US in Australia if you’d like more specific advice. We’re happy to help.

We are committed to selling merchandise of the highest quality and value, manufactured from all natural and certified organic cotton, FREE from synthetic additives.

Our organic cotton fabrics are produced ‘GOTS* Sustainable Textiles’ and certified by ‘Control Union’; (*Global Organic Textile Standard).

Is it really healthier to buy organic cotton products?

Buying certified and genuine organic cotton products are one more step towards living in an eco friendly world.

The production of every certified organic product is strictly monitored during each phase, and the processes used are much more environmentally friendly than any other production method currently employed on the planet today.

Buying organic ensures a better chance for the long term health of our world by utilising sustainable farming practises, WITHOUT the use of unnecessary and allergy causing chemicals.

Your children will thank you for it!
